When someone uses chat, their messages disappear forever once
they quit, with no evidence of what they said remaining. This is a
huge problem.

On Ben 10 Fan Fiction there have been at least two huge
arguments since I've been an admin over something that happened in
the chat, one of which nearly tearing the wiki in two and driving
away a good writer. None of them have been truly resolved to this
day because there's no proof for either side's stories. It's always
"You trolled so we banned you and then you socked so we banned you
permanently!" and "No I didn't, I said 'Hi' and was banned!" thrown
back and forth with no resolution.

On Minecraft servers, however, everything in the server
console—chat, commands, server messages, et…

You should be able to opt out of being part of the Achievements
system in your user Preferences.

I mean, I'm #1 on Ben 10 Fan Fiction. It's been that way for a
long time. I didn't even try! And it may make the new users think
that they edited like crazy to get that way, and they should spam,
too. That, or it makes them lose hope and maybe not
edit.

Well, Achievements were started as a way to get users involved,
and to help them make more edits and help the wiki. Well, this just
doesn't quite work out all the time. It works great on some wikis,
but not others. For starters, numbers just climb and climb until
there's almost no hope for new users to even get close to the
leaderboard. That, and it's an invitation to spam edits/categories,
and there's no way for admins to control the badges to prevent this
kind of cheating.

That, and it works on the "feel good" theme, and for some, the
"ends justify the means" theme. It's one thing to feel good about
something, but thinking it actually does something in the
long run is another. And no, ends (X-thousand points or so) do
not justify the means (…

Okay, there's a big yet subtle debate on what the name of the
default skin is. Some say Oasis, some say Wikia. I understand that
Oasis was the name at first, but it was changed to Wikia. That's
kinda stupid. The biggest reason is that having the skin name the
same as the site is really confusing.

So, I propose that it officially be changed to "Oasis."

At least globally change the MediaWiki page for the skin name in
the preferences to say "Wikia" or "Oasis" because "New Wikia
Look" doesn't really apply anymore, a whole year after its
release.

Some wikis—especially those with "-pedia" suffixes—don't refer
to their wiki as, for example, Brickipedia Wiki (or really "Lego
Wiki" in that case). So, I'm suggesting a new way for admins to
easily customize the wiki's name.

First of all, to the right of the wiki title box in the Wiki
Creation Page, instead of saying "Wiki" after it (to show that
"Wiki" will follow the title), there would be a check box option
saying "Use the 'Wiki' suffix in the site name."

In addition, for those wikis who want to change their site
names, there would be a special MediaWiki page (or "System message"
or whatever) called "MediaWiki:Sitename" (or something like that)
that would say the site name, and also allow admins to easily
customize it. (The URL would alw…
